I'm not sure what went wrong but my orange peels turned out terrible. They were bitter and not at all sweet.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The orange peels were not good and I will not be making them again.

I would not recommend this recipe. The orange peels were not good and I ended up throwing them away.

I followed the recipe exactly but the orange peels didn't turn out well. They were too soft and didn't have a good flavor.

The orange peels were a bit tough and chewy. I think I would have preferred them if they were softer.

These orange peels are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were less sugary.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover orange peels. I had a bunch of oranges that I juiced and didn't know what to do with the peels. This recipe was the perfect solution.
